Chapter 252 Fatal Temptation

The next morning, Jing Chen and Zhi Shu were still asleep, and Icarus was still guarding Jing Chen's side.

Nymph was alone in the bathroom. She took off her coat, revealing her smooth back, with marks on it where wings had been torn off. Those marks were proof that she once possessed wings. Sadly, they were gone now.

Nymph had always been bothered by the loss of her wings. Looking at the marks where her wings had been torn, Nymph recalled what Astraea had said the previous evening.

I know δ meant no harm, but without wings, I am now...

Thinking of this, Nymph recalled the words of her former master: "A piece of trash like you should be disposed of."

Thinking of this, Nymph covered her chest with both hands in grief, trying to clear her mind of all those thoughts.

It's alright, Jing Chen wouldn't say that. Zhi Shu will definitely...

Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Nymph looked up and saw Shouxing with his back to her knocking.

"Maintaining form?" Nymph wondered.

……

Nymph sat in the room when a purple portal appeared. Shouxing stepped out of the portal and said to Nymph, "Next time, 40 seconds, okay?"

Nymph said listlessly, "Huh? Again? I'm exhausted."

"Don't say that. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. We must investigate Synapse with Harpy no matter what." Shouge said while adjusting the time on his watch.

Nymph smiled and started adjusting the machine again. "Okay, I got it. 40 seconds, please."

Shouxing was teleported away through the portal, and Nymph was holding Zhong and counting down the seconds when Jingchen suddenly walked in.

"Nymph".

Nymph paused for a moment when she saw Jing Chen enter. "Jing Chen, what's wrong?" she asked, then paused for a few more seconds.

Jing Chen walked to Nymph's side without saying a word, took Nymph's left hand, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go on a date."

Nymph was initially happy to hear this, but he was still helping Shouxing and couldn't leave easily.

"But, Shouxing..." Nymph started to say something, but Jing Chen interrupted her directly, "It's alright, it's alright."

After saying that, Jing Chen pulled Nymph away, completely ignoring Shou Xing's life or death.

"No, Jing Chen!" Nymph said as Jing Chen pulled her away.

Nymph was pulled along by Jing Chen, blushing as she followed behind, letting Jing Chen lead her.

While being held back by Jing Chen, Nymph was still wondering if Shou Xing would be alright.

Jing Chen suddenly stopped and asked Nymph behind him, "Nymph, is it boring being with me?"

Nymph shook her head, and Jing Chen led her on the road.

On his way back from shopping, Icarus happened to see Nymph and Jing Chen walking together. Icarus stopped and looked at Nymph and Jing Chen holding hands.

Master and Nymph.

For some reason, Icarus felt very sad seeing Jing Chen and Nymph together. He placed one hand on his chest, lost in thought.

Icarus walked home, neither happy nor sad. Why did he feel this way?

The happy scenes of Jing Chen and Nymph flashed through my mind. My Master is my Master, and that's all there is to it.

Icarus stopped and closed his eyes; the power unit was in pain.

Shedding its outer coat, a pair of pure white wings quickly unfolded, and with a light leap, it flew into the air.

……

"What were their reasons for betraying Synapse?" Mikako asked, sitting on a bench by the roadside, looking at Astraea standing in front of her.

Astraea nodded. "Yes, I have a feeling that Master must know the reason behind it."

"Well, how should I put it, a love triangle?" Mikako said with a smile.

"Mathematics?" Astraea asked in surprise.

Suddenly, Mikako saw something. "Astraea, something's not right with Yun. Although the president doesn't dislike bloody love and hate dramas."

"Clouds?" Astraea clearly didn't understand Mikako's implied meaning.

……

Jing Chen led Nymph to a large tree and said to her, "There's something I really want to tell you today."

Nymph paused for a moment, and Jing Chen continued, "I want to be your master."

A gust of wind blew by, and Nymph froze, then chuckled, "What are you suddenly talking about? That joke is way too lame."

Jing Chen remained firm in his statement, saying, "This is no joke."

Nymph looked up. "But I don't have wings, and they say I'm useless."

"It's okay," Jing Chen said.

"And you said I'm useless," Nymph said, her voice trembling with tears.

"It's okay," Jing Chen said.

After a pause, Jing Chen continued, "I've always thought you were adorable, and I've always wanted you to be my angel robot." With that, Jing Chen extended his right hand.

"Are you serious?" Nymph asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm serious," Jing Chen said.

"Really?" Nymph asked.

Jing Chen smiled, walked up to Nymph, and reached out to touch Nymph's face.

Nymph smiled happily, tears welling in her eyes. After a gust of wind blew by, Nymph said joyfully, "Then let's imprint it quickly."

"Ah, wait. Before that, I have an order," Jing Chen said, holding up one finger.

"What? I'll do anything," Nymph said with a laugh.

"Just self-destruct," Jing Chen said.

Nymph was stunned, staring at Jing Chen in front of her with disbelief on her face.

"What are you talking about, Jing Chen?" Nymph asked in disbelief.

"Tell me what love is," Jing Chen said with a smile.

"Huh?" Nymph was stunned.

"Love is quite something, isn't it? It can even make you betray Synapse. Come on, hurry up and self-destruct, give me love!" Jing Chen said cruelly, his hands gripping Nymph's neck.

Jing Chen grabbed Nymph by the neck, shaking her body while repeating the word "love".

After shaking him for a while, Nymph suddenly grabbed Jing Chen's hands, seemingly realizing something. "That's right, you couldn't possibly be Jing Chen, could you?" With that, Nymph suddenly transformed into her battle form, jumping back a step. "Who are you? You're impersonating Jing Chen!"

Jing Chen quietly looked at Nymph, then suddenly smiled slyly, "Ah, you've been exposed." As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Chen revealed his true form.

A pair of purple, blade-shaped wings quickly unfolded, and Jing Chen's appearance transformed into that of a little girl dressed in a nun's habit.

"I was hoping you could teach me more about love. Nice to meet you, sister. I am a second-generation angel robot, model ε, Chaos."

Looking at Chaos before her, Nymph appeared quite cautious. Chaos was clearly a combat-specific omnipotent angel, while she was merely an electronic warfare-specific omnipotent angel. Their combat power was simply not on the same level; how could she possibly defeat him?

"Sister, tell me quickly, what is love?" Chaos asked.

Nymph clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and tears still lingered in the corners of her eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Nymph shouted, launching a supersonic attack at Chaos.

The ultrasound hit Chaos with pinpoint accuracy. Thick smoke billowed up, and Nymph, watching the smoke, laughed loudly, "Serves you right."

Looking at the thick smoke, Nymph suddenly remembered the expression on Chaos's face when he impersonated Jing Chen and said that Jing Chen wanted to be her master.

Looking at the thick smoke, a profound grief overwhelmed Nymph. She couldn't hold back her tears.

Enduring the pain on her back, Nymph turned and left. She was confident that Chaos would surely die under that ultrasonic wave!

"What do you mean by 'serves you right,' sister?"

Suddenly, Chaos's voice rang out behind Nymph. Nymph froze, surprised by the sudden appearance of the voice. Shouldn't she... she be completely gone?

Nymph stared in surprise at Chaos, who had appeared before her. Chaos slowly descended from mid-air, stood in front of Nymph, and reached out a hand to grasp the collar around her neck.

"My master ordered me to retrieve the core of Icarus's variable wings," Chaos said, lifting Nymph up. "The core of Synapse's most powerful power unit, the variable wings. But I'm not really interested in this kind of thing, so I pretended to be Jing Chen and had my sister teach me."

"Teach you? Teach you what?" Nymph asked with difficulty.

Kao threw Nymph to the ground. "I don't know either. Sisters, you betrayed Synapse. Master said you were bewitched by love. But angel robots don't have a program for love, so I want to know, what is the limit of love?"
